The following constitutes Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 11”). This Amendment No. 11 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by Privet Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 1,846,643 Shares beneficially owned by Privet Fund is approximately $20,336,708, excluding brokerage commissions.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 10,163,458 Shares outstanding as of December 17, 2021, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2021.

As of the date hereof, Privet Fund beneficially owned 1,846,643 Shares, constituting approximately 18.2% of the Shares outstanding.

Privet Fund Management, as the general partner and investment manager of Privet Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,846,643 Shares owned by Privet Fund, constituting approximately 18.2% of the Shares outstanding. Mr. Levenson, as the managing member of Privet Fund Management, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,846,643 Shares owned by Privet Fund, constituting approximately 18.2% of the Shares outstanding.

UPG has represented to Privet that it beneficially owns 783,998 Shares. Collectively, UPG and Privet beneficially own 2,630,641 Shares, which represents approximately 25.9% of the outstanding Shares. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares that he, she or it does not directly own. Furthermore, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the 783,998 Shares beneficially owned by UPG.

(b)       Each of Privet Fund, Privet Fund Management and Mr. Levenson may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by Privet Fund.

(c)       On December 22, 2021, Privet Fund purchased 219,523 Shares at a price of $12.75 per share in connection with the closing of the Issuer’s rights offering.
